Hello Sparklers across the globe! It's Katie! Today I am going to discuss all of the amazing benefits of shopping at thrift stores. There are truly so many different reasons that I am going to bullet them off so it won't take as long. :P lol (I'm so lazy).....
- The prices are cheaper.
- Shirts usually range from $0.25 to $5.00 depending on the store.
- Pants can be anywhere from $1.00 to $10.00.
- Dresses go from $2.59 to $25.00 depending on style and brand.
- You can find prom dresses there for way less than you would at boutiques and such.
- You can get name brand items for the fraction of the original cost.
- You won't feel guilty on spending too much money on a certain item.
- It's a great way to show originality and creativity.
- You can "Upcycle" an item and make it your own.
- Great for DIY projects.
- You can find unique, vintage pieces you wouldn't find in stores.
- Sometimes you find name brand pieces with the price tags still on them!
I have lucked out multiple times a found things like...
- A wedding dress in perfect condition for only $8.00.
- A Louis Vuitton purse for $25.00.
- Shirts, pants, and dresses from the following places and brands: Hollister, H&M, Aeropostale, Aerie, American Eagle, Forever 21, Rue 21, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi's, Kenneth Cole, and more!
Well that's all for today folks! Remember Sparklers: Be you, be flawless!
